Last night was ATC night at Bizzie B's. Barb and Tony surprised me with a cake and a copy of Sew Somerset! We all celebrated me being on the cover -- and then they tortured me by making me sign a copy -- and I agonized for over 4 hours over what witty comment I could make -- only to decide on something lame like, "xoxo, ~martha" -- okay, I did plant a big lipstick kiss on the front too, LOL. Because I love you guys! Anyway, it was terribly embarassing -- but I finally got to actually see the magazine --- and I REALLY AM ON THE COVER! with 4 pieces inside! WOOO HOOO!!! (see, Cori, I really do say wooo -hoo! all the time). This Sew Somerset is my FAVOURITE of anything that Somerset/ Stampington has issued (even if I wasn't in it) . Here are some pics of my pages. Bizzy B's will have more issues of the magazine shortly. -- call them to reserve a copy. Hey, I'll kiss it for you! (okay, possibly not a great idea -- since I've been sick lately) (Thanks for all of your help, Cori -- and thanks for the picture!) (I look so tired because I WAS tired -- it was almost midnight -- past my bedtime)(At least I'm not showing you the picture of me reading on the throne)
My inspirations for the pieces are really funny. HEY, I sound kind of intelligent. Kind of. Maybe. Click on the pics to read the inspirations.
(Somerset actually has sent me a copy of the issue -- but it appears to be missing -- and the wonderful, helpful editor, Amanda Nolan emailed me to let me know that she will resend it if it isn't here in another week)(every time I have emailed her, she has responded within a few minutes -- and with follow up emails -- she really does her job well)
MAIL DELAYS
I'm concerned about missing / late mail. It seems, that all of a sudden, mail is getting really slow from anywhere to Canada. Since our dollar is so strong right now -- I think that lots of people must be ordering stuff fromthe US and perhaps there is a huge backlog at the border (customs). Right now a package of RR books that was sent to me in August is MISSING -- and the tracking says that it entered Canada on August 23. Of course, everyone in the RR is worried, especially Melinda and Penny -- the owners of the books. Please think positive thoughts for a speedy recovery of the books.

Congratulations! I'll have to get a copy and get you to sign it. LOL! Sorry I missed the ATC Night and the signing session.
You're right, the magazine is incredibly cool, including your art work.

These pages are beautiful! I can't wait to see them in person.
I agonize about stuff in the mail and it only happened to us once. I'm hoping that means it'll never happen again. I'm crossing my fingers that it is just very late and still travelling to you.
Don't worry I'll be sending you the 'throne' photo - I think you'll find it amusing.
I'm so proud of you, Martha! You know you are one of my fave fabric artists!!! CONGRATS!!!
Hugs,
Beth :)
